TayMac ML450Z Single-Gang Weatherproof Expandable Flat Plastic Device In-Use Cover, 16-in-1 Configurations Bronze Finish

This cover was good quality and worked better than I expected. I was able to close the cover with a cord plugged in, although it has to have a relatively small plug. Extension cords that have larger plugs won't fit under this cover with it closed. The bellows does squeeze larger plugs and can bend the cord abruptly, but that's no different than other weather covers. The cover looks nice and it's compact which is perfect. I've only had it a few months so I don't know how it will hold up with time, but the materials seemed durable while I was installing it. I probably would't use this on an outdoor outlet I use daily, but I plan to buy a few more for my other outdoor outlets, which I only use once every few weeks or months.

These covers worked great on my outdoor outlets. Since Code says you cant use the old aluminum covers any more and the bulky plastic covers stick out to far, these were a great fit and they look and work great. I would buy angain.

TayMac Single-Gang Waterproof Cover I have several waterproof outlets scattered around my yard and they seem to need replacing every year or so. I like the TayMac covers because I’ve always found them very easy to change out and to use. You only have to loosen two screws to take the cover off and the new cover just slips back on. This can be a problem because it’s so easy you might be tempted to not turn the power off to the outlet while you change it. Not a good idea! It’s also a good idea to test the outlet after you change the cover even if you haven’t touched any of the wires. Nice product!

I guess this is the new standard. My electricican told me to get these for new outsoor installs. They made it through a winter, open and expand easily so they can operate and close. Colour is perfect for us.

Great cover for in use application. Works well for single heavy gauge extension cord but not sure how well it would work for 2 cords of heavy gauge. Cover has a durable accordion gasket that allows it to expand to accommodate the cord coming out the back of the male plug and to exit out of a slot in the lower corner of the cover. The cover will snap back into place when not needed, so you don't see the accordion gasket. The overall cover snaps and locks into place but can be easily opened to allow access to plug the cord(s) in. However, I found that with a large or heavy gauge cord, that the cover may not fully lock back into place or may sit a little 'cock-eyed' when it is snapped into place due to the cord passing through the slot in the corner, or pushing out on the accordion cover. This cover is a nice option to use instead of the big, ugly, clear plastic 'bubble' in-use covers that are more likely to get broken from bumps by yard equipment, etc.. Overall looks to be a good quality cover for an 'in-use' application such as a cord going to a landscape lighting power supply or a fountain pump (ie. something that will be plugged in and left for a long time), but if you just need a cover to keep water out of the receptacle and allow quick and easy power connection, then there are other covers that I think may work better....
